> As of 07:55 UTC, we are experiencing issues with the Dashboard, Express Dashboard on all platforms and Mobile surfaces. We’re continuing to investigate and will post further updates. API requests and payment processing are unaffected by this issue.

Looks like the dashboard was down. Payments continued to work. And I guess the dashboard is back up now?

Yeah, that's the interesting part.

In big systems, you usually find out what's mission-critical by seeing what still works when something goes sideways.

It would be nice if they could reduce the dashboards memory consumption while they're at it!

Payment links still seem to be working. Just the dashboard?

I am aware of those but there are no signs of this being related to an Azure outage nor did I find any signs that there even was an Azure outage.

It makes a lot more sense when you stop thinking of these people as engineers.

That's true.

The Harold Ableson GIF of him scratching out the word Science, then the word Computer comes to mind.
